Default nxt wax, liquid vs. paste

anybody else used both? thoughts? comments?

i used the liquid last year, just bought the paste stuff today and used it. seemed to work well, does it last as long as the liquid? it seemed to make the paint seem as dark and shiny as the liquid, and really brought out the flake in the paint. but it's been months since i last waxed her, damn winter. i have the flint mica btw.

i'm just bored and figured i'd see if anybody else has used both and could compare. lol

The biggest demand in the market place is for a cream or liquid wax. We have found the time line between paste, cream, and liquid, so long as you are dealing with a good product is very close to the same, as far as length of time between waxes.

In the past, there was a big demand for the paste wax, but with the performance and ease of use with the liquid and cream waxes, the demand has shifted dramatically.

paste will stay on your car better. liquid will rub off easier.

The formula should be the same for both, besides the ingredient which makes one thicker then the other. The only real difference it should make is to the user and their application preference/ease of application.

In my opinion, pastes will stay on longer due to the texture of the wax. I mean, its a liquid, how can it possibly bond to your car good? A paste will bond much much better to your clear coat. Just my opinion, nothing to prove it.

I've never had problems with longevity of the Turbo Wax, Wax I use, liquid format. Being a liquid it also goes further too.
